Based on a recent HSBC report, Australia is the third most preferred country among parents who contemplate sending their children for higher education abroad. This year alone has seen a 11% rise in the number of international students coming ‘down under’ as compared to last year, with the total number rising to almost half a million. Moreover, Sydney is becoming one of the most popular study destinations in the country.However, getting into a top-ranked university is often the first hurdle students need to overcome. While applying for courses in top universities, many students use their previous experience within their area of interest to strengthen their applications for preferred courses. However, a lot of students do not have an edge to score more points to gain admission.

This is where a pathway institute enables the students with an initial diploma to propel them to the course of their choice, in their preferred university.
